The Left Is WRONG About Prisons
@matrix 5 minutes in and he admits that the prison system is not about rehabilitation because it "simply doesn't work" even tho across the ocean it works absolute wonders in lowering the crime rates. this individual is very much aware of the prison system being a legal and easy way of enslaving people to do labour which creates capital for whoever is manufacturing prison goods. the prison system works, for capitalists.
@tsumi because it never was and he addresses your point about other countries at the end.
@matrix I don't need to continue watching he's already wrong about what prisons should do and about the effectiveness of acting as a deterrent objectively. not even a discussion at this point.
@tsumi
I do not know where this idea comes from but the primary purpose of prison has always been incapacitation, then a deterrent and the small amount of rehabilitation that might happen was just a bonus.
@matrix it does all things horribly which is why the crime rate of the US sucks.
@tsumi Crime rate is going down, which you would know if you watched the video.
@matrix except it isn't because incapacitation only temporarily brings down crime rates until a new generation of dysfunctional people caused by the lack of adressing of core issues arises which may or may not be even more efficient in doing crimes since they learn from the past especially if their relative is in prison.
